Catholic Dating Online Secret Friends Guide
Catholic Dating Online Finding Better Dates
By John D Strinetz
There has been a lot of mutual influence among religious
dating services. With Catholic dating sites influenced
by Jewish ones, and Jewish sites formed by Christian
groups, the cross-pollination has been huge.
When speed dating was instigated by a Rabbi in Berkeley,
California a few years ago, to help conservative Jewish
young people meet each other, it was soon adopted by
almost everyone.
Dating Sites Linking To Other Sites
Now you can visit a speed dating site and are just
as likely to find a link to "Buddhist Singles"
as to "Jewish Singles." Jewish dating internet
sites have had their influence, and other services have
influenced them right back.
One thing that many of these services have in common,
though, is a pragmatism that some religious people might
find disturbing. Jewish dating sites are often co-owned
by those promoting similar sites for different religious
groups.
Religious Dating Sites Running Sites Of Other Faiths
Someone hoping to find a life partner who shares the
same deep commitment to a religious faith that they
do might be skeptical if they see that the same company
that owns their favorite Jewish site also operates a
Muslim, Mormon and Catholic dating site.
Someone who views their religion as the "true
way" might not be inclined to trust a company that
puts their religion on exactly the same footing as everyone
else’s, as though they were interchangeable.
Religious Dating Pages
Let’s take two examples. The www.whispy.com
website’s Cultural Creative Web Directory tries to promote
creative, helpful sites in all categories. On their
"Religious Dating" page they have Mormon and
Jewish dating sites listed right alongside Buddhist
and Christian websites.
What would an evangelical Christian or a devout Catholic
make of that? Another set of sites isn’t as broad
in its religious sweep, but includes www.jewishmingle.com,
www.christianmingle.com,
and www.catholicmingle.com.
When people review these sites, they resent the fact
that the Catholic site isn’t considered part of
the "Christian" one, while others don’t
think the Catholic site is nearly Catholic enough.
Business Overtaking Religious Sensitivities
Young singles in the internet age seem almost desperate
to find each other, and dating sites are springing up
every day, creating a big business opportunity. But
with Catholic dating and other religious sites, it seems
that the "business" side often overtakes the
"religious" side of things.
For those who consider their religion of paramount
importance and not interchangeable with other faiths,
it can be very unnerving and be regarded as questionable,
that a Jewish dating site could be listed right alongside
Hispanic, lesbian, Buddhist, Islamic and Christian ones.
If one is coming from a devout religious perspective,
it’s not surprising that this might not seem quite right.
